I don't want to change the world

[kruach aum]

What if I just want to write code that doesn't make a difference in the world? Why does everything have to make a difference in the world? Isn't it enough that you experience pleasure from solving complicated problems?

Well this is directed at university students and 13 - 17 year old kids. Both are groups whose members generally do think they can and want to change the world.

I don't want to assume anything about you unfairly but do you even qualify for these classes? Because my guess is that your older, out of school and maybe feel like you missed your chance to change the world at this point in your life.

But then again, that's a lot like how I feel when I read articles like this so maybe I'm just projecting...
